Thomas Harris and William Blake

Know about the book -

Thomas Harris and William Blake is written by Michelle Leigh Gompf and published by McFarland. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0786471018 (ISBN 10) and 9780786471010 (ISBN 13).

This work examines the allusions to Blake throughout Harris's four Hannibal Lecter novels and provides a Blakean reading of the works as a whole, particularly in regard to the character of Lecter and the nature of evil in the world--and to what extent humanity should accept evil. The novels and their film versions reveal that Harris uses Blake to suggest that good and evil are intertwined and coexist, and that it is foolish to try to see them simply as opposing binaries. Refusing to recognize their intertwined relationship leads to imbalance and a negative outcome, as revealed in the fate of Graham in Red Dragon.
